ANother question Im sure you are expecting this question.... How do i troubleshoot the x-ray circuit? Should I have a tech come to do this? I dont have a manual on hand, i got the tv from someone who was giving it away a few months ago. I am not real electronically inclined in the areas of tv repair. THanks again

There are alot of voltages that are dangerous and you would definately need some experience. My suggestion would be go to mitsubishi's website and search for the authorized repair facilities in your area that do service on mitsubishis, then you could tell the repair center what the code is and they could possibly give you a ball park estimate on the cost of repairs, as alot of shops dont have a clue when it comes to servicing Mitsubishi models.

youre very welcome. If you cant find any authorized mitsubishi service centers in your area let me know and post your zip code and I may be able to locate a qualified person for you.youre very welcome.

power supply's are hardly ever replaced, they are repaired. your picture tube in most cases usually fail slowly progressively over time, there are many protection circuits involved in a TV`s circuit, they protect your unit from faults like power supply faults, picture convergence, vertical amplifiers, x ray, ext depending on your model, i suggest you search out a second opinion form another organization before spending 600 plus dollars for a new tube, i suspect your tech may be a little less than honorable...

Your model is the VZ8 that doesnt have the pip board it has an IC for control of the PIP. So your problem has to be in the video or deflection circuits You can get a service manual off this link that I am part owner of if you need one. We also help by giving free support to help with the diagnosis and locating parts. This is a free service when you purchase a manual and we email the manual within minutes of placing your order. Its listed as VS60707 and sells for 10.99 its the full factory service manual.
Heres the link if your interested.http://servicemanuals.vstore.ca/

No im sorry to say, not in the standby mode but in the shutdown mode. this could be from several things. like a bad regulator IC in the main supply, or a set of bad capacitors between the main power supply and the sweep power supply, or maybe a shorted audio output IC oer a shorted convergence IC or could even be because fluid leaked down onto the Printed circuit board, from the CRTs. If your not a tech Please call one as it not a place for someone to be tinkering around with!
Please dont forget to rate this.

luckyly here are tech that have knowledge of electronic,if you dont whant any boddie ripp you off, well this gonna help you. Definitively, your set have a short, in the power supply or in the horizontal circuit, with this in mind request to varius tech an estimate, and what, they think is the problem, then you can take a good decision...good luck

Did you mess with the alighnments?? I doubt that just an alighnment will help as they do tend to drift but all three tubes dont go out of alighnment unless something happens to the circuit. If your a technician then sure you can replace the convergence ics but if your not its not like replacing spark plugs in your car. Electronic repair is a trained trade. Its not something we can teach you overnight or even in a month. Im sorry but If you are not a tech you should and its highly advised that you do take the set to a pro to have rthis problem fixed as theres very high voltage in these sets that can hurt you very badly.. Good Luck
